I bought this lens recently on a local second hand internet store for 15€ with a Canon EF adapter already attached to it. The focusing ring is very smooth, the body is mostly plastic but the mount is made of metal. It has automatic aperture and a minimal focusing distance of 26cm. I tested the camera on my crop sensor Canon EOS 77D, wide open, the image quality is not very good, rather blurry in the corners and ghostly in the middle. I suspect the culprit here is field curvature.
Can't really complain as the lens was quite a bargain all things considered, it's a shame though that the lens doesn't get fully sharp even at f/16 where some mild softness still remains in the corners as seen here.
But hey, at least it wasn't horribly decentered like the Soligor P 35mm f/2 that I got last time for around six times the price and ended up returning as a result. The sharpness is very even, though not great.
The aperture actually has a mild sawtooth pattern when stopped down to around f/4. It quickly straightens out.
Also, sorry for the filth, haven't cleaned the lens yet, it arrived today.
Anybody else owns this lens? Does anyone know anymore info about it? Please do tell if so, thanks. |
